Changes from V3

  • renamed episode
  • For all downloads 5.1 Surround sound added
  • Slight improvement to visual quality
  • Smaller file size
  • Updated intro helmet sequence
  • Updated look to introduction text
    • Centred Text
    • Decreased size of Text
  • Rewrote introduction text
  • Replaced old intro with new one
  • Added episode title card
  • recut everything in this episode from scratch again to avoid any previous audio mistakes.
  • Made the “Star Wars” logo red instead of yellow for this episode
  • cut “but what if it’s the secret to destroying the sith.” to further emphasis Kanan’s point by having him interrupt Ezra.
  • cut Kanan’s “who is it” in response to Maul. Kanan is blind but I feel he should know it’s Maul.
  • Made Kanan stay still instead of turn and talk so I could use the shot where he says “who is it”. (I just repeated the footage from earlier in the shot masked to just where Kanan was standing)
  • cut “just and old friend master Jedi” from Maul
  • cut title card
  • cut “maul you betrayed me” from Ezra. It just didn’t feel right with it in.
  • cut “No I betrayed your friends but I would have remained loyal to you” from Maul.
  • cut Ezra and Kanan bickering about the Jedi Holocron
  • cut Maul chatting about the Ghost ship (it just felt weird to me)
  • cut Maul and Sabines expository exchange about him ruling Mandalore. It also cuts Zeb’s weirdly animated response to being in cuffs.
  • cut “is that true” from Zeb
  • cut the gags with Maul seeing Ezra & Zebs room and Sabines room.
  • cut fade to black
  • cut a few shots of Ezra entering the cave and Kanan talking over the comm as it’s not needed thanks to my previous cut.
  • cut end title card and credits
  • Inserted footage from S03E14 Warhead to smooth the episode transition and continue to develop the Thrawn plotline through the season.
    • Started with the footage toward the end of the episode with the droid back in it’s pod flying through space
    • cut from Kallus seeing the explosion to a shot of Thrawns star destroyer with the flaming stardestroyer in the background.
    • cut the end lines from thrawn (they have won this battle but not the war).
    • Further justification for its inclusion: It mirrors the Rebellion nicely, as they gear up to strike the Empire, Thrawn gears up to strike them. It helps convey the passage of time better.
  • cut Sabine and Hera discussing Thrawn (in my edit they don’t know of him just yet).,
  • cut title card
  • cut Sabine and Kanan joking together after Hera takes off. It just felt counter to the current mood.
  • cut Sabine stating she was tracking Ezra (we know this already).
  • cut Ezra calling Maul’s belongings junk.
  • cut & trimmed Zeb snoring scenes.
  • cut “maul’s back” line from Ezra. We know he’s back, that’s the purpose of this whole episode.
  • cut “I wanna go to Tatooine and check things out” line from Ezra (it does make sense, as he probably got the info from the broken holocrons as we see later but it makes more sense to show the solution over Tatooine rather then name drop the planet beforehand)
  • trimmed Ezra’s takeoff form Chopper Base in the stolen A-Wing
  • cut down Chopper and Ezra arguing in the A-Wing
  • cut a shot of Chopper talking to himself after landing on Tatooine
  • cut Ezra saying “the sith holocron” yes Ezra, we can see that, it’s red and evil looking.
  • cut Ezra and Chopper discussing if they should continue through the sands
  • cut “It’s maul, it had to be!” from Ezra
  • cut some more Chopper and Ezra arguing about following the holocrons.
  • cut a zoom out of Chopper and trimmed his decision making about following Ezra
  • I did a lot of reworking for the remaining footage here, I’ve reordered the shot of Maul appearing to take the shot of him being gone. I’ve changed the audio for most shots here. (this was mostly to keep continuity and to cut down on the conversations between Chopper and Ezra)
  • cut Chopper and Ezra arguing in the sandstorm
  • cut some shots during the sandstorm to speed this part up.
  • cut the conversations when Ezra arrives as recommended. That way the viewer can decide what they did or didn’t talk about to anything. This was to help cover up any perceived inconsistencies.
  • Updated the look of the end credit ‘concept art’
    • Added a cracked paint effect to all concept art
    • Added a canvas texture to all concept art
  • Created subtitles
  • Added chapters, subtitles and both title card art options to the video file metadata.
  • created new and old style title card artwork for the renamed episode.

For recolors only:

  • Fixed colors for introduction sequence
  • Fixed colors of end credit sequence

Viewing Notes

Episode is essential viewing as it sets up major story events across the last 2 seasons and resolves the Maul plotline.
